Very close to the best bit. Building up a fresh new she'll is magic.

Very cool.

Shell complete :)

Not the good camera I'm afraid and unable to get outside because of the foul weather but still couldn't resist a few photos....

....I'm taking the E to Gary for a couple of weeks before swapping the Mongrel to commence the rebuild....it'll mean I'll have two tangerine shells sat in my garage for a little while.

You won't see that often! 8)

Gary Cook, GDC Automotive.

Gary's just moved into a new unit and will be helping a few more private clients alongside the trade customers who have used his services for many years.

The E needs a few items sorted and a little fettling thereafter it'll be a full on rebuild of the Mongrel.....

.....I hope! :)

....and if you have some spare time!!!!!....any chance of an update on the Mongrel artwork?.....re-do twin slots on front bumper, silver trim on the lenses...oh, and the battery kill switch isn't going red (didn't have the heart to say last time!)....

....well, if you don't ask! :wink:

I don't think you are lucky Darren, I would say determined, passionate and enthusiastic ! (is that enough to book me a ride in it when finished :) )
